25 MINS. PREPARATION - 30 MINS. COOKING
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS
- To make the caramel, place the butter and the sugar in a non-stick pan over a low heat. Stir until the butter melts and the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Add the condensed milk to the same pan and slowly bring to a boil, stirring continuously. As soon as the mixture thickens and starts to smell like caramel, remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool.
- For the banoffee pie, place the crushed McVITIE’S DIGESTIVES© in a bowl with the pecans and the butter and mix well.
- Transfer this base mixture into a 25cm cake tin and press down to ensure that the mixture is level.
- Add the sliced bananas to the caramel mixture and stir. Spread evenly over the biscuit base. Transfer to the fridge and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
- Whip the cream into soft peaks and spread it over the banoffee layer. Melt the dark chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water and drizzle it over the top of the pie. Allow to set before serving.
